BIÑAN, Laguna - The wait was worth it as Paul Zamar made a solid PBA debut for Blackwater in the team's 105-91 loss to Ginebra in the Commissioner's Cup on Friday night.

Six years after he heard his name get called in the rookie draft, the 30-year-old playmaker heard his name announced by the barker when he checked in late in the first quarter, providing a spark for the Elite.

Zamar proved to be the silver lining in the defeat as he registered 15 points - although 12 came at garbage time - four triples, six rebounds, and one assist without a single turnover in over 21 minutes.
